This article describes the features of DStv Explora decoder and what makes it the most innovative technology of the year. In comparison to other decoders from DStv and other pay-TV services, Explora is yet to see its match. The purpose of this article is mainly to simplify the Explora and make you appreciate this latest technology in the satellite TV industry. Now let us jump in.
Since the launch of the DStv Explora decoder, it has seen no rival. Compared to models of DStv decoders, this MultiChoice decoder remains most innovative tech product of the year.
What has the DStv Explora got that other decoders do not have? A lot more! The technology in the design and equipping of the Explora marks almost revolutionary in the satellite TV industry. Little wonder MultiChoice confirmed that the DStv Explora changes the way and manner we view the pleasure of TV viewing.
DStv EXPLORA FEATURES
Here are some striking features of Explora that makes it stand out from among other decoders in MultiChoice DStv. Furthermore, the Explora has never been rivaled among other satellite and terrestrial TV decoder ranges ever known. Some notable features of the Explora decoder are;
FULL HD DISPLAY ON DStv EXPLORA
Its is not only High Definition HD ready, it is full HD. This is to say that with the HDMI ports, all display outputs are HD. I strongly advise that you optimally enjoy DStv Explora display using ideally your smart TV. In other DStv HD decoders such as the HD Zappa, the high definition content only comes alive when viewed over a HD TV. Note here that all smart TVs are HD, but not all HD TVs are smart.
Here is another striking innovation in the DStv Explora decoder. Although some channels broadcast in HD such as MNet HD, SuperSports HD etc, all channels display as HD. However, this only happens as long as you are viewing with the HDMI onto a HD TV. Although there are ports for the coaxial RF IN and OUT, AV wire ports, Ethernet for Explora internet etc, only the HDMI port has the capacity to output signals in full HD formats.
PERSONAL VIDEO RECORDER (PVR on Explora)
Before the coming of the Explora decoder, the HD PVR decoders from DStv enjoyed a recording ability of just 50 hours. This means that while watching a TV channel, you could be simultaneously recording the programs from another channel in the background.
However, innovations in the DStv Explora has extended the recording time to 150 hours and a storage capacity of 500 GB storage. The decoder has got an in-built memory storage device that could store up to 500GB of data. This entails movies, music etc. They are downloadable in the Explora via its Box Office and Video-On-Demand features.
BOX OFFICE FEATURES ON DStv EXPLORA
This technology of the Box Office functions like a virtual storage cloud. This is where all sorts of movies could be logged on to, accessed and downloaded for programmable viewing. This feature is exclusive to the DStv Explora among other models. However, it takes only a little extra subscription to access movies on the Box Office service as each download costs just 600 naira.
When a movie downloads, it saves on the memory storage device of the Explora. A subscriber has only 48 hours to view and enjoy the movies, after which they automatically delete from the decoder’s memory. Once deleted, only another download can return a particular movie to your Explora.
The Box Office is very unique and hi-tech. It is known to have latest releases from the international and local movie industries. Aside the Explora decoder, you can enjoy Box Office services from other third-party services worldwide. Furthermore, the Box Office rating is also a global yardstick to measure a movie’s success and fame.
